  • This week you can learn my Ukulele Bluegrass Strumming Technique. I've had lots of questions about this strumming so today I break it down to make it easier to learn. I'll also show you other tips and techniques to get that bluegrass sound out of your ukulele while playing the old Classic tune The Orange Blossom Special. This song can be played as a simple 3 chord song or a 4 chord song.
    I am now accepting private students online if you would like to advance your playing in this style (Note prices are in Canadian Dollars) www.fourstringstrummer.ca/sho...

    Can’t tell you how glad am to have stumbled on your awesome channel. I’m pretty sure I know you from somewhere. I knew you were Canadian when your chemin de fer n’était pas complètement massacré. You’re by far the best uke teacher out there.

    Great lesson - this is just what I need. I can play many many songs, I do open mics. My strumming styles though are limited and hopefully these additional strums will enhance my performances and entertain my audiences even more. I will be checking out more of your videos. Thank you. 😊

    Kelly, that was an excellent assortment of chocolate box styles today. Pushing the envelope I like that. The flick with the finger was a great fit to the song and one I will be practicing. Quite a few Artists have covered Orange Blossom Special. I have a soft spot for Glen Campbell and the Live Performance with Johnny Cash on his Show is well worth a watch if you have not seen it.

      Absolutely - that strum/those techniques work the same on banjo uke. Check out the banjo uke playlist and you'll see lots of content like that. Thanks Randy!! Kelly

    Loving the strumming 😊. The time has come to buy a uke. Any suggestions on what type for beginners. Gonna put my banjo a side for a while.❤

      LOTS of good options out there. I've really been enjoying the TK-14 Tenor from Ohana - it's one of their lower end instruments but the sound is great, they look really good and they are priced right! If you're looking for something more upscale I also like the Ohana TK-35G which is all solid wood with a high gloss finish. It sounds fabulous and looks gorgeous! If you're thinking about something a bit different the Pineapple Concert - also all solid wood is a nice mid-priced option. Mahogany with high gloss. I did a video recently where I highlighted that uke.
